Tamagoyaki Breakfast Pizza
What happens when Japanese breakfast meets Italian dinner? The Tamagoyaki Pizza is born! Tamagoyaki is a sweet and savory rolled Japanese omelet that works surprisingly well as a pizza topping. The trio of soft egg, stretchy cheese, and crispy crust creates a true 'umami bomb'. Distinctive yet familiar flavors.

Instructions
1
✓
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Make the Tamagoyaki: whisk the eggs with the soy sauce and sugar.
Tip: Sugar helps the egg brown and gives it a distinct Japanese flavor.
2
✓
In a pan with a little oil, cook thin layers of omelet, rolling the previous one up each time (or cook one thick omelet and slice it).
Tip: Layering makes the egg airy.
3
✓
Cut the finished egg into 1/2-inch strips or cubes.
4
✓
Stretch out the pizza dough and spread with tomato sauce.
5
✓
Sprinkle with cheese, arrange the egg strips on top, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
6
✓
Bake in the hot oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese bubbles and the crust is golden. Garnish with fresh scallions before serving.
Tip: High heat cooks the dough quickly, keeping it crispy outside and soft inside.
